New Favorite Place for Ramen

Spicy Tonkotsu
Original Kotteri
     The new Agu Ramen at Ward Village has become one of my favorite restaurants because it offers the best tasting and original Japanese Ramen in Honolulu in my opinion. Agu refers to the highest grade pork from Okinawa. Their famous Tonkotsu broth is cooked daily for 18 hours with pork bones at an extremely high heat to establish the rich and creamy flavor. Luckily, there were seats available when my friend and I got there and we were seated quickly. My friend ordered the Original Kotteri and I ordered Spicy Tonkotsu. The Original Kotteri includes a extra rich broth made with black garlic oil. I personally love spicy so I ordered my Spicy Tonkotsu with level 2 spiciness, which is medium level. The half egg is kind of sweet and the char siu that comes with it is very tender. The price for each of our ramen was $12.75, which is among the cheapest in the restaurant. I think our money is really well spent and we enjoyed it very much. We would definitely visit there again.

  1. Hi Elaine! Agu Ramen sounds good right about now especially with the weather nowadays. I've heard so much about this place and that Italian place next to there. Both great places to dine in. Reading your description of the food, I must say I got a bit hungry haha. I gotta eat there one day!

  2. My friend went to Agu Ramen at Ward Center once. What they told me is they were waiting for their dishes for about 30 mins. After they finish eating, they said it was worth to wait that long. I think I will go there to try in recent days.
